  4. Benefits of Using Project Approaches, Ongoing Assessment, and CFQs in My Unit • Students use their writing skills to write about something important to them— • their school, their peers and teenage • issues. • Their writing has a real audience— • new students to the school. • Students collaborate with peers to • collect information about the school. • They learn writing and thinking skills while they are working on the project. • Throughout the project they give and receive feedback on their work.

  5. By Using Project Approaches, Ongoing Assessment, and CFQs My Students Will: • Experience writing for a real audience and use technology to enhance their learning • Gain self-assessment and self-direction skills that they will use and build on all year long

  6. Gauging Student Needs Assessment • I will use my Essential and Unit Questions to: • Find out what students think about what good writing is and how good writers work • Gather information on higher-order thinking and 21st century skills: • By answering how good writers write, students will show their metacognitive awareness of writing strategies • By taking on different perspectives and predicting their needs, students will anticipate what people want to know about the present generation.

  7. Gauging Student Needs Assessment • What I will learn from the assessment • What my students think good writing is so I know what to teach them • What writing process my students use • What my students will gain from the assessment • An articulation of their thoughts about good writing • A chance to set writing goals for the unit

  8. My Goals • Learn about different • kinds of technology that • will motivate mystudents • Find ways to get my students to do more higher-order thinking • Learn some strategies for helping students do projects from other teachers
